Coming Back
I sold my 2000 vert. about 1 and 1.5 years ago for a SC430. While the Lexus is a great auto I am once again yearning an auto with excitement.
I have located a 06 with just about every option, i.e. Z51, 3LT, Nav, chrome etc. etc. low miles at what I feel is a fair price.
My only issue is the color, it is white. Now my 78 was white and it seemed fine but my 2000 was red. Looking for a few comments on the white exterior.

Coupe or convertible? Interior color(s)?
I happen to really like the C6 in Arctic White, especially with the Red/Ebony interior and, if a convertible, with the black top. I'd be OK with Arctic White/Ebony but would still prefer the Red/Ebony interior. I really like the itanium/Ebony interior but not with Arctic White. I wouldn't own the Cashmere/Ebony interior, regardless of exterior color.
I don't mean to offend anyone here; this is just my own personal taste. I guess the one thing I'm really trying to point out is that IMO the desirability of Arctic White depends significantly on the choice of interior color(s).

This is obviously a matter of personal taste. If I were you, I would keep looking. There is no way I would buy a white Corvette. There is a reason it has the lowest numbers built... people just don't want them.
